Watch: Video of Caitlin Clark scoring barrage in Iowa practice goes viral
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark has plenty of stories that add to her legend. We have footage to go along with one of those stories, now.
Iowa Hawkeyes fans and others have likely heard of Clark's apparent 22-point barrage in 2 minutes during a scrimmage against Iowa's gray squad, a practice team consisting of male students. There's now video to back up what Clark has mentioned before, and it's just as incredible as it sounded.

Clark hoisted 3-pointer after 3-pointer, some from nearly halfcourt and others while falling to her left or kicking out a leg in midair.

The video was uncovered on March 22, 2024, but went viral on Tuesday after Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy shared the clip. "She is the one," Portnoy wrote.
Clark also talked about the scrimmage in a recent interview with David Letterman on Netflix's "My Guest Needs No Introduction," which also brought attention to the performance.

"We were down 15, and we made a couple of 3-pointers to cut it down to 10," Clark said. "I think I had 22 points in like two minutes."
Letterman replied: "22 points in two minutes?"
"Usually, I'm never shocked when I hit a big shot, but after like my fifth 3-pointer in a row, I was like, 'Oh my gosh,'" Clark said. "I couldn't believe it. We ended up winning, and our boy practice players didn't hear the end of it."
Portnoy's repost of the video has over 2.4 million views as of Tuesday afternoon, with another repost of the video from a Clark fan account notching over 2 million, as well.

The 23-year-old guard was a WNBA All-Star in her first professional season after being drafted No. 1 overall. The NCAA's all-time leading scorer won back-to-back national player of the year awards in 2023 and 2024 and was a four-time All-American with the Hawkeyes.
It was recently announced the Indiana Fever will have more nationally televised games than any WNBA team this season, in large part due to Clark's influence. Forty-one of the Fever's 44 games will air on national TV.

U.S. Open: Players Defend Wyndham Clark's Locker Room Destruction
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. So much has been made this week of Oakmont Country Club's carnage created for players at the 2025 U.S. Open. More players finished worse than 20-over par than are in red figures. Just think about that. The cut line landed at +7, with several stars falling below including defending champion Bryson DeChambeau. But so too did the 2023 U.S. Open winner, Wyndham Clark. Clark bogeyed his 36th and final hole to miss the cut by a single stroke. Afterward, he allegedly took out his frustration on the members locker rooms at Oakmont Country Club. 🚨🥾🚪 #NEW: Wyndham Clark allegedly damaged several lockers in the change room at Oakmont Country Club following a missed cut, per @TronCarterNLU. Additionally, Clark recently destroyed a T-mobile sign at the PGA Championship not long ago. Is this behaviour acceptable? — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 15, 2025 Images of the destruction surfaced, prompting fans reactions. But after news of the incident surfaced, pro golfers have come to his defense. "This is minimal regards what I've seen other players do. Players you would never expect. Oakmont will test any players mental fortitude. Seen it in person. Guess who? 2016," Graeme McDowell cryptically posted. Interestingly, the 2016 U.S. Open he is referencing also was played at Oakmont.

(Photo by) More"I have inflicted severe Locker destruction through the years at US Opens and paid my fines. Generally they have been our temporary build lockers. Not members lockers. Not that that's an excuse. Generally it's been when I've felt the USGA have pushed the limits over the edge 🤦🏼♂️," Ian Poulter then replied to the tweet. This was not the first time Clark has left his own carnage behind. A month ago, he flung his golf club and damaged the T-Mobile sign at the PGA Championship. That prompted an extensive apology from the former U.S. Open winner on social media. That begs the question whether Clark will post anything after his latest reported outburst. Will he receive any fines? After the two best years of his professional career in 2023 and 2024, things have not gone well in 2025. In 16 events, Clark has missed the cut four times and has just one top 10. More Golf: Scottie Scheffler Reveals Feeling Being 'Hit by a Bus' at U.S. Open
